In this picture is a Negro church. Obviously it is outdoors. It is in a rural setting and it is during the day. There aren’t any people around. The church seems empty. The church does not seem to be in a very good condition. It looks very old. The only things surrounding the church are trees. I feel that the tone of this photograph is negative.
I think that the tone of the picture is negative for a few reasons. One reason I think that is there are no people around. There are no signs of life. Another reason I feel this way is because the church does not look to be in a great condition. These attributes make the mood of this photo very sullen, therefore making the tone of the picture negative.
If could ask two questions to the photographer I would first ask why there were no people around. Next, I would ask how long that church had been around for.

In this picture is a store front, advertising foods and prices. It appears to be daytime. It is too hard to tell whether it is placed in an urban or rural setting. There are no people in the store, walking by the store, or near the store. It does not show anything other than the store front so, I cannot tell what is surrounding it. The first thing that I noticed in the picture was how low the prices in the window were. I fell that the tone of this photo is negative.
I think that the tone of the picture is negative for a few reasons. One reason is that there are no people around buying anything. Another thing is that the prices are so low and there seems to be an excess amount of food in the window. By this I can tell that the owner of this store must have been desperate to sell the food and get money.
If I could meet the photographer and ask two questions first, I would ask why the prices of the foods were so low. Next, I would ask where the people of the town were.

Title and other information from caption card. Transfer; United States. Office of War Information. Overseas Picture Division. Washington Division; 1944. In this picture are two women walking down a long road. It is during the day. The two women are African American. Both of them are wearing dresses. There are no buildings around. There is only grass and little wooden poles running down next to the road. I feel that the tone of this photo is negative.
I think that the tone of the photo is negative for a couple of reasons. One reason is that there is nothing in sight that the women could be trying to reach. They seem to be wandering aimlessly.
If I could ask the photographer two questions, first I would ask where the women were headed to. I would also ask why the women left in the first place.
